Default What first?

I just got a 91 GT hatchback with a 5 speed and was wondering what I should do to it first? So far its stock as far as I know besides the flowmasters and the K&N air filter?

Your first mod should be a twin turbo setup.</P>

Just joking. Gears are the way to go. Personally, I'd go 3.73s. Heh, I DID go 3.73s.</P>

If you aren't worried about gas mileage like me go with the 3.73's.

Is the short throw shifter worth it and should it be one of the first things I buy?

Gear install expect $500-600 all inclusive.

I'd like to learn how to do gears though.
